The research method used is normative legal research. Sources of primary and secondary legal materials. Legal materials that have been obtained from the literature study and the approach to legislation were analyzed using a systematic interpretation technique. The results of the study reveal that witness testimony is very necessary in the trial in order to provide appropriate sanctions for the defendant.
